Now that the post positions for the $5M Breeders’ Cup Classic have been
drawn, the strategizing now begins! What do these starting positions mean
for the favorites and the longshots? Uncle Mo, the race’s first choice, will
have to contend with outside post 12 of 13 – but his speed will serve him
well going into the first turn. Uncle Mo will also be looking to become the
first horse in Breeders’ Cup history to win a Breeders’ Cup race the year after
winning the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile.
Havre de Grace, who is attempting to become the second female horse to
win the Breeders’ Cup Classic, will be contending with post 10. Not known
as a particularly quick starter, Havre de Grace will depend on jockey Ramon
Dominguez to steer clear of traffic troubles early on. Expected pacesetter
Game On Dude will break from post 8, which suits his frontrunning style. And
breaking from extreme inside post 1 is longshot Prayer for Relief, whose odds
of winning do not improve with that unlucky draw. Bet on the Breeders’ Cup.
